Three claims that were not true

Gateway URLs — the one users hit

27 copy-pasteable curl commands, across the root README and eight plugin READMEs, addressed the gateway as <host>/plugins/....

The gateway mounts a global /api prefix. Every one of those commands answers 404 — install, enable and config alike. Verified against the published contract: /api/plugins/install, /api/plugins/{id}/enable and /api/plugins/{id}/config all exist; a bare /plugins/install does not.

Marketplace status

PLUGIN-STANDARD.md called the in-dashboard marketplace future work in two places, and told users to install by downloading a release asset "until the in-dashboard marketplace lands".

It has landed. The dashboard's Plugins page offers Upload and Catalog as two modes of one install flow, reading this very catalog — with search over it.

The adjacent metadata note claiming the API-returned fields are "not yet rendered by the dashboard" was stale too, but only halfway: the catalog row renders author and searches on it, while license really is stored-but-unrendered. Corrected per field rather than flipped wholesale.

after-hours compatibility floor

The README stated two different floors 15 lines apart — a hand-maintained badge and two prose mentions saying 0.6.2, and a generator-owned table row saying 0.7.0.

The manifest declares 0.7.0, and that is what the catalog publishes, so the three hand-written mentions were the wrong ones. The reason the plugin needs a floor at all — sandboxed Intl timezone data and onConfigChange forwarding — did arrive in 0.6.2, so that survives as an explanation rather than as a competing number.

Tests

Two guards, because nothing in the toolchain reads a README: the catalog gate compares manifests against plugins.json and never opens one.

  • every gateway URL in any README must carry the /api prefix
  • a plugin README's stated OpenWA floor must equal its own manifest.json

Both mutation-checked: reverting one URL and one floor fails exactly those two tests and nothing else.

Verification

547 tests passing, and node scripts/catalog.mjs --check reports the catalog up to date — no manifest or catalog data changed here.

Three things the documentation stated that were not true.

Gateway URLs. 27 copy-pasteable curl commands across the root README and eight
plugin READMEs addressed the gateway as `<host>/plugins/...`. The gateway mounts
a global `/api` prefix, so every one of them answers 404 — install, enable and
config alike. The routes they meant all exist under `/api/plugins/...`.

Marketplace status. PLUGIN-STANDARD.md called the in-dashboard marketplace
future work in two places, and told users to install by downloading a release
asset "until the in-dashboard marketplace lands". It has landed: the dashboard's
Plugins page offers Upload and Catalog as two modes of one install flow, reading
this catalog. The metadata note claiming the API-returned fields are "not yet
rendered" was also stale for `author`, which the catalog row shows and searches
on; `license` really is stored-but-unrendered and now says so.

after-hours compatibility. The README stated two different floors: a
hand-maintained badge and two prose mentions saying 0.6.2, and a
generator-owned table row saying 0.7.0. The manifest declares 0.7.0, and that is
what the catalog publishes, so the three hand-written ones were wrong. The
reason the plugin needs a floor at all — sandboxed `Intl` timezone data and
`onConfigChange` forwarding — arrived in 0.6.2, so that is kept as an
explanation rather than as a competing number.

Two tests now cover both classes: every gateway URL in any README must carry the
`/api` prefix, and a plugin README's stated floor must match its own manifest.
The catalog gate compares manifests to plugins.json and never opens a README, so
nothing looked at either before.
